Quote

1

[from a Yale University commencement address] To those of you who received honours, awards and distinctions, I say, well done. And to the C students, I say, you too can be president of the United States.

2

[on Barack Obama's inauguration] When I saw his hand go up, I thought 'Free at last.'

3

Spreading wealth and hope in Africa is a cause worthy of our great nation.

4

[on the notion that American politics is another kind of family business] I don't think it's a family business. That means that when I was raised, it was "Okay, little boy, I want you to start studying the political issues so that when you're old enough we'll be able to chuck you into the arena". That's not the way it worked. The way it worked, in my case, I got married. I had to make a living. And, no question, I was interested in politics, primarily because I admired my dad so much.

5

It is presumptuous and insulting to suggest that a whole region of the world - or the one-fifth of humanity that is Muslim - is somehow untouched by the most basic aspirations of life. Human cultures can be vastly different. Yet the human heart desires the same good things, everywhere on Earth.

6

[advice to novice portrait artists Don't paint your wife.

7

[on his retirement hobby] I spent a lot of time on personal diplomacy and befriended leaders, and learned about their families and their likes and dislikes, to the point where I felt comfortable painting them. Painting portraits of my friends, and some people who weren't necessarily my friends, gave me a sense to convey a feeling I have about them, because I got to know them well in the presidency. I'd never lifted a brush before. I'd never been next to paint. So I gave it a whirl. I tell people that the signature on my paintings is worth more than the paintings.

8

[justifying a preemptory attack on Iraq] Fearing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof - the smoking gun - that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.

9

[on the reasons for the invasion of Iraq] Nobody was lying. The reality was that I had sent American troops into combat based in large part on intelligence that proved false. No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn't find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.

10

[on modeling his own retirement on this father's] I watched him carefully and how he moved on with his life. He didn't linger. He didn't have a sense of needing to hang on to the presidency. I learned from him that when it's over, its over. One you're off the stage, you're off the stage.

11

[dedicating a new American embassy in China, 2008] Its quite an honor, to be introduced by your dad. This has got to be a historic moment, father and son, two presidents, opening up an embassy. I suspect it's the first, although I must confess I haven't done a lot of research in the itinerary of the Adams boys.

12

[from his address to the nation, September 11, 2001] Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me'. This is a day when all Americans, from every walk of life, unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do it this time. None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.

13

I truly believe that the decisions I made will make the world a better place. Unfortunately, if you're doing big things, most of the time you're never going to be around to see them. And I fully understand that. If you aim for big change, you shouldn't expect to be rewarded by short-term history.

14

[December 5, 2005 - on Julie Harris, just 3 days after she celebrated her 80th birthday]: It's hard to imagine the American stage without the face, the voice, and the limitless talent of Julie Harris. She has found happiness in her life's work, and we thank her for sharing that happiness with the whole world.

15

Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.

16

I do tears. I've got God's shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot. I do a lot of crying in this job. I'll bet I've shed more tears than you can count, as president. I'll shed some tomorrow.

17

[to a reporter who asked him, after the Lewis 'Scooter' Libby trial was over, to talk about the Valerie Plame Wilson leak case--Plame was an undercover CIA officer whose identity was leaked by Bush administration sources--which he promised he would do after the trial was over] It's run its course. Now we're going to move on. Next question.

[Tipp City, OH, April 19, 2007] My job is a job to make decisions. I'm a decision- if the job description were, what do you do-it's decision maker.

22

[on comparisons between the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, Tipp City, OH, April 19, 2007] There are some similarities, of course-death is terrible.

23

[Washington, DC, April 3, 2007] Iraq is a very important part of securing the homeland, and it's a very important part of helping change the Middle East into a part of the world that will not serve as a threat to the civilized world, to people like-or to the developed world, to people like-in the United States.

24

[Discussing the continuing need for heightened airline security, Washington, DC, April 3, 2007] That's why we are inconveniencing air traffickers, to make sure nobody is carrying weapons on airplanes.

[on benefits provided to military personnel, Tipp City, OH, April 19, 2007] One of my concerns is that the health care not be as good as it can possibly be.

26

Washington, DC, May 2, 2007] The question is, who ought to make that decision? The Congress or the commanders? And as you know, my position is clear--I'm a commander guy.

27

[on British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Washington, D.C., May 17, 2007] My relationship with this good man is where I've been focused, and that's where my concentration is. And I don't regret any other aspect of it. And so I--we filled a lot of space together.

28

[Washington, DC, May 17, 2007] We understand the fright that can come when you're worried about a rocket landing on top of your home.

29

We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq. And the job is this: We'll help the Iraqis develop a democracy.

30

[September 20, 2001] I will not forget the wound to our country and those who inflicted it. I will not yield, I will not rest, I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people.

31

[March 11, 2004] Human life is a creation of God, not a commodity to be exploited by man.

32

You can disagree with me on issues, John [John McCain], but do not question

We've been attacked for where I was born, for who my family is, and where my money has come from. I don't think that's fair.

34

Uh, I never ran for governor of Texas to be president. It didn't enter my mind when I was 21. It didn't enter my mind when I was 31 or 41. Truthfully. I mean, I didn't conduct my life to try to figure out how to be president. And so when all this speculation started, it caught me, and my mother, totally by surprise. But I am interested. I'm interested because, um, I'm concerned about the future of our country. That's why I'm interested.

35

Tribal sovereignty means that, it's sovereign. You're a -- you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And, therefore, the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities.

36

The signal we ought to send to our children is that in spite of what happened in the '60s and '70s, we have learned some lessons. And the lessons ought to be: don't be using drugs and alcohol.

37

My views are one that speaks to freedom.

38

My job is to, like, think beyond the immediate.

My job is to lead.

40

In the corporate world, sometimes things aren't exactly black and white when it comes to accounting procedures.

42

If we wait for threats to fully materialize, we will have waited too long.

43

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.

44

[During an interview about the recent death of Ronald Reagan, former US President and former Governor of California] . . . of course I think he was underestimated. People, mostly people on the East Coast, were saying that an actor couldn't be President. But what they were forgetting was that he was the governor of the largest state in the Union.

45

[Regarding 9/11, from the 2004 State of the Union address] In grief, we found the grace to go on.

46

[Discussing the website GWbush.com, which parodies him] There ought to be limits to freedom. We're aware of this site, and this guy is just a garbage man, that's all he is.

47

This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses.

52

[Announcing his run for re-election] I have come to realize this job is a magnificent job.

53

[on his hopes for Saddam Hussein's interrogation] I don't believe he'll tell the truth. He didn't tell the truth for over a decade. I just can't believe he's going to change his ways now just because he happens to be captured.

54

[on the fate of Saddam Hussein after trial] I've got my own personal views. This is a brutal dictator. He's a person who killed a lot of people. But my personal views are not important in this matter. It's going to be up to the Iraqis to make those decisions.

55

[on his hopes for Saddam Hussein's interrogation] He's a deceiver, he's a liar, he's a torturer, he's a murderer. I can't imagine why he would change his attitude, since he'll be treated humanely by US troops. And, you know, I would be very skeptical of anything he said one way or the other.

56

Our priorities are our faith. Our priorities are our family. Our priority is a country we love dearly called America.

57

I will not yield, I will not rest, I will not relent in waging the struggle for freedom and security for the American people.
